"Already, eco-ACLU lawyers are filing a lawsuit against their arch-enemy -- GOD!"

That's so unfair! Where's God gonna get a lawyer?

[Amish with an attitude]

I can rest peacefully at night knowing that my fleet of SUV's are not contributing to global warming.

If you look close enough you can see Hillary's ugly scowl on the sun.

Better advise people that they should look at your posted photograph, rather than the sun directly.

[NicknamedBob]

Yeah, but it would be different if you were using cows.

[Clintonfatigued]

It's Bush's fault!

[laz]

I suppose the Dems think it's our fault Mars is getting warmer too.

Well, Bush *did* say he wants us to go to Mars, didn't he? That's all the moonbats need to connect the dots and conclude that Bush has already started global warming on Mars.

The problem is if the sun has begun warming...why? Is this part of a warming/ cooling cycle of the sun?

Is it gonna go Nova?

I'm so glad you posted this. I've been reading a little about this, and it makes so much more sense. I reason that if you think about the Earth's tilting (pardon my limited vocabulary here) during the changing of seasons, which causes changes of temperature up to 80 degrees or more, it's makes all the since in the world that the slightest change in the Sun's temperature would affect the planets which orbit it.

"Is it gonna go Nova? "


It will expand into a massive red giant swallowing the orbits of Earth and Mars. It will collapse and form a giant planetary nebula similar to the many beautiful pictures of other dying stars Hubble space telescope has seen. All this in 5 billion years. We better get working on warp drive ;)

The sun has a normal 22 year cycle. There are probably many more cycles we have no clue about. And things that just happen as well.

And all this time I thought it was simply caused by a loose Thellmann wire on Carl Rove's "Sun Output Increaserer Machinen".

Sheesh!

[mdmathis6]

I'm reminded of a sci fi short story in which Earth discovers that the sun is inhabited and these inhabitants decide they don't like Earth....I remember the last line of the story..."And Sol drew forth and licked the face of her children...leaving them clean, bright, and sterile"!

It only makes sense that the Sun is the master controller. And there's not a darn thing we can do to affect it, either.

Bill Clinton says we should put some ice on it. That's very helpful, apparently.
